Biomedical Engineering Programme is to provide high quality education for transforming the armatures into professionals, capable of applying knowledge of Basic Sciences and Fundamental Engineering, to take up the challenges in health care sector and instill in them the attitudes, values and vision for continued training and inculcate leadership abilities in their chosen careers

It aims to develop skills enabling Biomedical Engineers to serve the Hospitals, National and International Industries and Government Agencies. It builds a strong foundation and develops technical skills to work professionally in the areas such as Nanotechnology and Microsystems, Rehabilitation Engineering, Biomedical Signal and Image Processing, Medical Instrumentation, Medical Imaging, Nuclear Medicine Robotics in Medicine, Networking and Information systems in hospitals; to develop core competency in the field of Biomedical Engineering to gain technical expertise in biology and medicine for effective contribution in the development and improvement of health care solutions & to train and motivate students for pursuing higher education and research for developing cutting edge technologies. This program is accredited by National Board of Accreditation for a period of three years with effect from the Academic Year 2018-19.

“Design, Develop and Care - We do it all”

Core areas

Emphasis on design and development of Medical Instruments in hospitals.

Focuses on various latest imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET and SPECT.

According to India’s Planning Commission, more than two-thirds of the country’s population of roughly
1.2 billion people live in rural areas â€“ exactly where there is still a serious shortage of basic medical care. There is immense scope for enhancing healthcare services penetration in India. This presents ample opportunity for development of the healthcare industry which means there will be demand for Biomedical Engineers to cater to this rapidly growing sector.

Mr. Prashant Kamarikar, CEO, Pacific Aesthetic India Pvt. Ltd
Biomedical Engineers are in demand at research and development organizations, medical equipment manufacturing companies, state of art hospitals, teaching institutions, and well established corporates like GE, Wipro, Siemens, L & T, ECIL, SCL, and BEL. There are also ample opportunities for carrying out advanced research in universities abroad. There are diverse areas and fields, in which they can work. They can work in areas like medical equipments manufacturing, molecular, cellular and tissue engineering as Clinical Engineers, Biomechanics Engineer, Bioinstrumentation Engineer, Business Managers, Professors, Research Scientists, Technical Writers, Systems Physiology Engineers, etc.

With the increase in population, the number of people who require healthcare facilities is on the rise. So, there is immense scope of Biomedical Engineers in the times to come. There is very high demand for professionals in healthcare in countries outside India.

I started a techno-entrepreneurship consultancy service organization “AUM MEDITEC” in 1999. We have been rendering consultancy services in Healthcare management and bio-medical management systems.
There is a huge demand for biomedical engineers in India. The work profiles vary from monitoring and maintaining the medical equipment in hospitals to working in Bio-medical device industry in a job profile of sales & marketing management, product application specialists, servicing of medical equipment, etc.

India has come a long way; with manufacturing set up expansions now being expanded in India; golden opportunities also await in medical device manufacturing job profiles and in Research & Development areas. Immense job opportunities also exist in diverse spheres like IT in healthcare and computer hardware & software applications to integrate medical devices for easy and comfort in usability.

Allow me to narrate an interesting conversation I had with a renowned surgeon in Mumbai, about 45 days ago; we were discussing medical robot applications and the doctor commented “The time is not far when Bio-Medical Engineers would be doing all the surgery work and we surgeons will just watch and monitor the proceedings” This is the extent of advancement in Medical engineering and the demand graph for bio-medical engineers in India is observing only an upward trend!
